Aghost ship,also known as aphantom ship,is avesselwith no living crew aboard; it may be a fictionalghostlyvessel, such as theFlying Dutchman,or a physicalderelictfound adrift with its crew missing or dead, like theMary Celeste.[1][2]The term is sometimes used for ships that have beendecommissionedbut not yetscrapped,as well as drifting boats that have been found after breaking loose of their ropes and being carried away by the wind or the waves.

More recently, ships which travel with their mandatedAutomatic identification systemturned off to avoid detection and monitoring, have also been referred to asghost ships.[3]

Unsubstantiated

[edit]
The discovery of theMarlborough,as depicted byLe Petit Journalin 1913
  • 1775 – TheOctavius,a British merchant ship returning fromChina,was supposedly found drifting off the coast ofGreenland.The captain's log showed that the ship had attempted theNorthwest Passage,which at the time had never been successfully traversed. The ship and the bodies of her frozen crew apparently completed the passage after drifting amongst the pack ice for 13 years.
  • 1811–1813 – Napoléon Gallois reported that a French frigate had found the French privateerDuc de Dantzigdrifting, covered in blood, with the decaying corpses of the crew hacked and crucified to her masts and in the battery. Bloody papers identifiedDuc de Dantzigand her master,François Aregnaudeau.More soberly, the ships register of the maritime archives states "Duc de Dantzig,unheard of as of 1813, presumed lost with all hands ".[17]
  • 1840 – TheschoonerJennywas supposedly discovered after spending 17 years frozen in an ice-barrier of theDrake Passage.Found by Captain Brighton of thewhalerHope,it had been locked in the ice since 1823, the last port of call having beenLima, Peru.The bodies of the seven people aboard, including one woman and a dog, preserved by theAntarcticcold, were buried at sea by the crew of theHope,and Brighton passed the account on to theAdmiraltyinLondon.TheJennyis commemorated by theJenny Buttress,a feature onKing George Islandnear Melville Peak, named by theUK Antarctic Place-Names Committeein 1960.
  • 27 October 1913 – The Singapore newspaperThe Straits Timespublished a story according to which theMarlboroughhad been discovered nearCape Hornwith the skeletons of her crew on board.[18]The Straits Timesattributed the story to one published in theLondonpaper theEvening Standardof 3 October 1913. TheEvening Standardmentioned that the story was based on an "account cabled from New Zealand" which was yet to be confirmed. The ship that sighted theMarlboroughin 1913 was said to be the sailing shipJohnson.[19]
  • 1947 – TheOurang Medanis said to have been found adrift offIndonesiawith all of its crew dead. The boarding party found the entire crew "frozen, teeth baring, gaping at the sun." Before the ship could be towed to a home port, it exploded and sank. There is no record that a ship of this name ever existed, and it is believed to be an urban legend.
  • 2014 – At least 243 refugees disappeared without a trace in the summer of 2014. A human trafficker who arranged a journey to Europe for the refugees claimed that the people were scheduled to depart from Khums, Libya, but the ship that they would have departed on was never named and no sign of a ship or the refugees has even been found. This incident is known as theghost boat investigation.

Historically attested

[edit]
  • 1750 or 1760 – The SVSea Bird:This merchant brig, under the command of John Huxham (or Husham or Durham), grounded herself at Easton's Beach,Rhode Island.Her longboat was missing. She had been returning from a voyage toHondurasand was expected inNewportthat day. The ship was apparently abandoned in sight of land (coffee was boiling on the galley stove) and drifted off course. The only living creatures found on the ship were a dog and a cat. A fictional account of how she became derelict appeared in theWilmington, DelawarenewspaperSunday Morning Starfor 11 October 1885.[20][21]
  • 15 May 1854 –HMSResolutewas abarque-rigged ship of the British Royal Navy that was abandoned after being beset by ice inViscount Melville Sound,Canada. She had been one of four vessels fromEdward Belcher's search expedition forJohn Franklin.The ship drifted some 1,200 miles (1,900 km) before it was found on 10 September 1855 off the coast ofBaffin Island,Canada, freed from the ice. TheResolute desk,which was constructed from the timbers of the ship, resides today in theOval Officeof theWhite House.

  • 25 November 1872 – The SVMary Celeste,after passingSanta Maria Islandin the Azores on 25 November 1872 (the last entry on the ship's slate). Themerchantbrigantinebecame derelict in unknown circumstances. No boats were found on board.[22]She was found on 4 December 1872 between mainlandPortugaland theAzoresarchipelago.The ship was devoid of all crew, but largely intact and under sail, heading toward theStrait of Gibraltar.Arthur Conan Doyle'sstory "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement"is based on this incident. Doyle alters certain aspects of the original story, including the name of the ship fromMarytoMarie Celeste.
  • 29 August 1884 – The SVResolven:This merchantbrigwas found abandoned betweenBaccalieu IslandandCatalina, Newfoundland and Labrador.Her boats were missing.[23]Her logbook was posted to within six hours of being sighted.[24]Other than a brokenyard,she had suffered minimal damage. The galley fire was alight and the lamps were burning.[24]A large iceberg was sighted nearby. It has been claimed that none of the seven crew members or four passengers were accustomed to northern waters and it was suggested that they panicked when the ship was damaged by ice, launched the lifeboat, and swamped, though no bodies were found. Three years later,Resolvenwas wrecked while returning to Newfoundland from Nova Scotia with a load of lumber.[25]
  • 1885 – The SVThe Twenty One Friends:This three-masted (tern)schoonerwas built in 1872. She was financed by a group of 21PhiladelphiaQuakersand consequently named theTwenty One Friends.In 1885, returning to Philadelphia with a full load of lumber fromBrunswick, Georgia,the ship was rammed by theJohn D. Mayoff the coast ofCape Hatteras.Capt. Jeffries removed his crew and abandoned the vessel. The ship and cargo were left to the mercy of the sea. Capt. Jeffries’ concern for the safety of his crew was appropriate; however, the Gaskill-made ship proved herself to be more seaworthy than expected. After the collision, the ship was sighted on both sides of the Atlantic over the next two years. She finally came ashore inIreland,where her cargo was salvaged and she was employed as a fishing vessel.[26][27][28]
  • 1897 – The abandoned whalerYoung Phoenixwas reported to have been drifting in the Arctic.[29]
  • 22 January 1906 – TheSSValencia's lifeboat no. 5: The lifeboat went adrift when the ship sank off the coast ofVancouver Island,British Columbia, Canada. The lifeboat was found floating inBarkley Sound,Vancouver Island,British Columbia, Canada in remarkably good condition 27 years after the sinking.[14][13]
  • October 1917 – The SVZebrina:This sailing barge departed Falmouth, Cornwall, England with a cargo of Swansea coal bound for Saint-Brieuc, France. Two days later she was discovered aground on Rozel Point, south ofCherbourg,France, without damage except for some disarrangement of her rigging, but with her crew missing.[30]
  • January 1921 – The SVCarroll A. Deering:After passingCape LookoutLightship,North Carolina,on 28 January 1921, theCarroll A. Deering,a five-masted cargo schooner, became derelict in unknown circumstances. The ship's lifeboats and logbook were missing when she was found on 31 January 1921 at theDiamond Shoals,off the coast ofCape Hatteras,North Carolina. The final voyage of the ship has been the subject of much debate and controversy, and was investigated by six departments of the US government, largely because it was one of dozens of ships that sank or went missing within a relatively short period of time. While paranormal explanations have been advanced, the theories of mutiny or piracy are considered more likely.
  • 3 October 1923 – The SVGovernor Parr:This four masted schooner was abandoned by her crew after she lost her mizzen and spanker in a storm while sailing fromIngramport,Nova Scotia, Canada toBuenos Aires,Argentina. The damage incurred byGovernor Parrwas significant to the masts and deck of the ship; however, she did not sink. Several attempts were made to either destroy or tow this derelict to shore, but all failed.Governor Parrwas sighted for many years after her abandonment as she covered large spans of the Atlantic Ocean. She remained a derelict and “menace to navigation”, drifting as far as the Canary Islands. It is unknown what happened to her in the end.[31][32][33]
  • 24 November 1931 – TheSSBaychimo:This cargo steamer was abandoned after being trapped in pack ice nearBarrow, Alaska,U.S. and being thought doomed to sink. However, she remained afloat and was sighted at various times between 1931 and 1969 in theChukchi Seaoff the northwestern Alaskan coast without ever being salvaged. ´She was sighted numerous times, still unmanned and adrift, for nearly forty years. People managed to board her several times, but each time they were either unequipped to salvage her or were driven away by bad weather. This would make her one of the longest sailing ghost ships in the world.
MV Joyita.The ship was partially submerged and listing heavily to port side.
  • 3 October 1955 – TheMVJoyita:After leavingApia,Samoa, the refrigerated trading and fishing charter boatJoyitabecame derelict in unknown circumstances. The ship'sdinghyand threeCarley-liferaftswere missing,[34]and her logbook was also missing, when she was found[35]on 10 November 1955, north ofVanua Levu,Fiji. A subsequent inquiry found the vessel was in a poor state of repair, but determined the fate of passengers and crew to be "inexplicable on the evidence submitted at the inquiry".
  • 1959 – The Royal Navy submarineHMSVirulent,lent to theHellenic Navyin 1946, was found empty in theBay of Biscayoff northern Spain. It subsequently became clear that she had been under tow by another vessel and that the chain had snapped, some three weeks earlier.[36][37]
  • 1 July 1969 – The SVTeignmouth Electron:After the last entry in her log was made on 1 July 1969, thetrimaranyacht became derelict in unknown circumstances. The vessel was found on 10 July 1969 in the North Atlantic, latitude 33 degrees 11 minutes North and longitude 40 degrees 26 minutes West. Investigation led to the conclusion that its sole crewmember,Donald Crowhurst,had suffered a mental breakdown while competing in asolo around-the-world raceand committed suicide by jumping overboard.[38]
  • 1975 – The SVOcean Wave:Bas Jan Aderwas lost at sea while attempting a single-handed west–east crossing of theAtlanticin a 13-foot-long (4.0 m)pocket cruiser,a modified Guppy 13 namedOcean Wave.The passage was part of an art performance titled "In Search of the Miraculous". Radio contact broke off 3 weeks into the voyage, and Ader was presumed lost at sea. The boat was found after 10 months, floating partially submerged 150 miles (240 km) west-southwest of the coast of Ireland. His body was never found. The boat, after being recovered by the Spanish fishing vessel that found it, was taken toCoruña.The boat was later stolen.[39]Ader's mother wrote the poemFrom the deep waters of sleepafter having what she described as a premonition of his death.
  • December 2002 – The MVHigh Aim 6,after the owner last spoke to the captain by radio when the ship was near theMarshall Islands,halfway between Papua New Guinea and Hawaii, on 13 December 2002, the MVHigh Aim 6,alongline fishingboat, became derelict in unknown circumstances. The Taiwanese police deemed a mutiny probable. The ship was found drifting with its crew missing on 3 January 2003 approximately 80 nautical miles (150 km; 92 mi) east ofRowley Shoals,Broome, Australia. The derelict was subsequently scuttled.[40][41]
  • 24 March 2006 – TheMTJian Sengwas found drifting 180 kilometres (110 mi) southwest ofWeipa,Queensland,Australia. The ship's origin or owner could not be determined, and its engines had been inoperable for some time.[41][42]
  • 24 August 2006 – The SVBel Amica,a classicschooner,was found derelict near Punta Volpe,Sardinia,Italy. The owner later claimed to have gone home on 14 August 2006 to address an emergency. The Italian press suggested that he may have been avoiding taxation of luxury vessels. The Coast Guard crew that discovered the ship found half eaten Egyptian meals, French maps of North African seas, and a flag ofLuxembourgon board.[43]
  • 18 April 2007 – The SVKaz II,a 12-metre-long (39 ft)catamaranset sail on 15 April 2007. She was filmed passing George Point,Hinchinbrook Island,Queensland later that day and on that same day, late in the afternoon, the GPS data showed her to be adrift.[44]She was found adrift on 18 April 2007 nearthe Great Barrier Reef,88 nautical miles (163 km) offTownsville,Queensland, Australia. When boarded on 20 April, the engine was running, a laptop was running, the radio and GPS were working and a meal was set to eat, but the three-man crew were not on board. All the sails were up but one was badly shredded, while three life jackets and survival equipment, including an emergency beacon, were found on board. A search for the crew was abandoned on 22 April as it was considered unlikely that anyone could have survived for that period of time. The coroner believed that the men may have fallen overboard.
  • 28 October 2008 – The MVTai Ching 21(Chinese:Đại khánh 21 hào): The last radio transmission from theTai Ching 21,a fishing vessel, was made on 28 October 2008.[45]The boat was found empty on 9 November 2008 nearKiribati.Its lifeboat and three life rafts were missing.

The sails were torn and there was no one on board. After boarding they found that the last log entry had been made on 2 January 2009.[49][50]
  • 20 March 2012 – The MVRyou-Un Maru,a fishing vessel, was washed away from its mooring inAomori Prefecture,Japan during theTōhoku earthquake and tsunami.It was assumed sunk with no crew aboard, but a year later, it was found drifting about 150 nautical miles (280 km; 170 mi) off the coast ofHaida Gwaii,British Columbia, Canada. The United States Coast Guard sank it with 25 mm cannon fire on 5 April 2012.[51][52]
  • 19–20 June 2012 – TheT.T. Zion,a private yacht, wasgroundedon Fort Lauderdale Beach around 1:15 a.m. on 20 June, with its navigation lights on and engines still running.
